Rejoice in This Video of Jennifer Lopez Singing “Don't Stop Believin’” to Alex Rodriguez on a Yacht

Alex Rodriguez’s recent Instagram set hearts aflutter. It’s a video of him and Jennifer Lopez in Positano, Italy, perched on the edge of a yacht and listening to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin‘.” At first, they just sway to the music. But then they both get into it, and J.Lo just starts belting out the lyrics. Perhaps wisely, A-Rod refrains from joining in, but bops his head to his girlfriend’s animated rendition.

“What did you guys think of my performance?!” he wrote in the caption.

In an age of perfectly posed, poised, and sometimes photoshopped celebrity Instagrams, Alex Rodriguez’s was a silly reprieve, one that seemed off the cuff, or at the very least, not overtly contrived. It was just fun, which is a word we haven’t used to describe celebrity couples lately. That word would be more like “whaaaat?”

But Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, blissfully singing on yacht, sailing along the Italian seas, bring hope. They are #couplegoals—the oft abused phrase that, in mixed up and messed up 2018, somehow turned into an endangered species. (Protect Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, and Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian at all costs.) They’re the couple you follow not for the drama, but because you are genuinely, sincerely, rooting for them.

Because try not smile when A-Rod films J.Lo serenading him on his birthday in a Champion sweatsuit, or when J.Lo posts a photo with a lovey-dovey caption, or when they both post pictures of their families together. It gets even better when you remember that, even while they do have the couple’s moniker of “J-Rod,” they remain two wildly successful individuals best known on their own.

Soon enough, like probably tomorrow, more celebrity relationship drama will arrive. But for today, we’ve got a joyful J-Rod, singing Journey on a yacht. And what a nice thing it is.
